Weld County follows the adopted International Fire Code and NFPA 58 for LP-gas tanks. Its design criteria specify that propane containers installed in hazard areas must sit within the defensible space required by the International Fire Code, with proper clearances from structures and ignition sources.
Propane (LP-gas) installation and storage in Weld County is governed by the fire and building codes it adopts, backed by NFPA 58, rather than a stand-alone county propane ordinance. County design criteria direct that liquid propane gas containers and tanks placed in hazard areas be located within the defensible space in accordance with the International Fire Code. Standard code separation distances between a tank and buildings, property lines and ignition sources apply based on container size, and larger tanks require permitting and inspection. Your local fire protection district enforces these placement and clearance requirements; cities apply their own adopted fire code.
Improper tank placement or an uninspected installation can fail fire-code inspection, block a certificate of occupancy, and require relocation of the container at the owner's expense.
